It seems that Halleck suggested that I should go to Nashville as soon as able to move and take general direction of the troops moving from the west.  I received the following dispatch dated October 3d:  “It is the wish of the Secretary of War that as soon as General Grant is able he will come to Cairo and report by telegraph.”  I was still very lame, but started without delay.  Arriving at Columbus on the 16th I reported by telegraph:  “Your dispatch from Cairo of the 3d directing me to report from Cairo was received at 11.30 on the 10th.  Left the same day with staff and headquarters and am here en route for Cairo.”
